An acquaintance told me that no medication would completely mask the symptoms so I haven't made a big deal about it to my doc.
I also feel like questioning the improvement would cause the universe to think me ungrateful and deal with me accordingly. lol

It's gonna be different for everyone. There is no question meds help, but they are not a cure. At best, they can make you feel stable for as long as u stay on them or until they seem to stop working. Also common for many meds reduces the severity of swings, and for some make them worse. So you should always question. The more you ask, the more you learn. Keep a log, you may or may not see patterns. We all have our own baseline too, that's our average or the best we can hope for. Everyone's baseline is different too! Mine is pretty close to normal, but still a little off. Some one else may appear to be bat **** crazy but that could be their baseline. Almost forgot I been tracking myself for years and noticed my baseline changes. Cheers!
